Hi all,
Here are the meeting notes for this week's meeting:
Meeting: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/64/ Attending: Willy, Ishaan, Elendil (KrIr17), Mike, Marc, Tav Next Meeting: June 20th https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/
Willy - opened some new MRs - one is for UX, another is Revert button replacement (!7260). Had a problem with another MR (about recent files) - can't make error message show without an active desktop - Elendil left a comment. Asked is it even possible to do it without a desktop for menus, Mike had some suggestions - printing, Gtk Revealer, and asking Martin. Elendil also offered a potential precedent in the code. Also merged some MRs
Ishaan - Resumed work on Incremental Selections, currently stuck with a C++ issue, will need some reading/research to overcome. Also working on proposing an Indian Contributor Meet with Vaibhav. Maren is helping with stickers and other booth materials (thanks for that). Currently will create a doc containing all information, and then ask on the mailing lists/chat for interest, and submit the final proposal to the board.
Mike - Working on Object Properties dialog - slow to open on Linux, very UI heavy, creating widgets takes time.
Working with Dialog docking, it's working on Linux and macOS, needs help for testing on Windows. Willy volunteered to test on a Windows machine.
Tav (joined late - dealing with wasps) - working with Hatches (discovered issues with them during Nuremberg Summit). Default Hatches are not defined right, but it's easy to fix. Also working on converting hatches to paths, will be very useful for plotters and laser cutters. Explained hatches to Ishaan. They're not editable on canvas, this was broken sometime back. When they're fixed, could be nicely integrated into the Fill and Stroke dialog like Patterns were done.
Willy has some issues with OpenGL on Windows, and was in a meeting for the UX initiative, might discuss that in the next dev meeting.
